Japanese Telcos Q2 FY24 review: Stable growth with better profitabili...
Service revenue slowed for the incumbents but stayed in the low-single digit band, with Softbank still ahead followed by NTT. Mobile divergence continues to play out with SB leading the pack and is likely to remain so in our view. Industry EBITDA improved as NTT inflected to growth and led to a strong EBIT beat this quarter.

PSA Internet / eCommerce: Rakuten (4755 JT) FY24 Q3 Results
Pelham Smithers reviews the FY24 Q3 performance of Rakuten which saw the firm move into the black, boosted by a +53% YoY increase in the Fintech business. The key question is whether the stock is likely to hit EV/adj OP of 15~16x within three years?

Rakuten (Reduce, ¥400, -58%) Q3 24 Quick Take: Mobile traction fading...
Rakuten reported mixed results as revenue and EBIT were slightly ahead of expectations, but net profit recorded a large miss. The company has redefined Mobile EBITDA to include ecosystem benefits which seems disingenuous to us when it is apparent it is unable to achieve breakeven within by the end of this year.

Rakuten (Reduce, ¥400, -56%) Rakuten selling a stake in Rakuten Card ...
Rakuten has announced that the company is no longer proceeding with its Fintech reorganisation, preferring instead to enter a deep alliance with (and probably stake sale to) Mizuho. In this brief note, we address what we think Card is likely to be worth in a sale and the implications for Rakuten.

PSA Strategy: Japan Stock Market Quarterly 2024 Q4
When the BoJ raised rates in March, it had been 17 years since it had last done so, though the world was very different then. While the July rate hike was unlikely to move the economic needle, the question now is what else might follow the subsequent financial market maelstrom. Pelham Smithers discusses the outlook for Japan’s macro environment, what new fiscal policies the new PM might introduce, how the BoJ might react and the all-important trend in corporate earnings. This then leads us to...

Rakuten has ditched its FinTech reorganization plans since it was announced six months ago. Instead, the Group is now opting to deepen the collaboration between its main arm of the FinTech segment, Rakuten Card, with Mizuho, presumably by selling a stake in Rakuten Card to the latter .
